Sounds very much like the gun licensing requirements we have over here. Completely agree about wild food (meat) being more morally acceptable than farmed food.
For our family it's pheasant when in season - my son loves pheasant curry - and occasionally wood pigeon. I've hunted deer and boar in the past but as I don't own a rifle I only hunt as a guest.
Here's a pic of a small walked-up shoot we did a few years ago - just three of us and two dogs walking the boundaries on a local estate after the main shoot days had finished. Mine's the dog on the left - she worked her socks off on that day, bless her.
